David Letterman Apologizes Again For Tacky Willow Palin Joke!
A week after David Letterman made a distasteful joke about Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter, he’s apologizing again!
During the taping of Monday’s Late Show, Letterman explains that the tacky joke referencing Sarah Palins’s 14 year-old daughter, Willow, got “knocked up” by Alex Rodriguez during their recent trip to New York’s Yankee Stadium, was intended for Palin’s 18-year-old daughter Bristol.
“It’s not your fault that it was misunderstood,” he said on his show. “It’s my fault.”
Letterman concluded his second attempt at apologizing by saying he will try to do better in the future.
Critics thought Letterman’s first apology last week was insincere. Letterman smirked during the initial apology and downplayed the lewd joke by saying that most of the jokes he says are in bad taste and he regrets almost all of them.
Letterman has received criticism from all sorts of public figures ranging from the women of The View and the Alaska governor herself. Palin said he owes an apology to “young women across the country” on the Today show Friday.
Letterman’s second apology is too little too late. If he would’ve issued a genuine apology the first time around, the public would’ve found it way easier to forgive him. He’s not sorry - he’s just sorry he’s getting such bad press for his despicable comment. The bottom line is that no joke - especially ones insinuating the rape of a teenage girl - should be made about ANY politician’s child no matter what their political affiliations are. Period!

U R as pathetic as the manipulative, lying dimwitted political official who has inferred and outright implied Rocking Dave is dangerous to children. Be informed, or keep your big mouth shut. You don’t know what you’re talking about; And, neither does stupid-lying woman. I am embarassed for every one of you.
